Shag, thanks for the well-wishes, and my only wish was that I could have had a final-pass crack at the 2nd edition to catch some of the most obvious typos. But I’m glad you liked it and the degree of Firestorm coverage! As far as new characters go, I like Jason Rusch quite a bit.

Dan – Thanks for stopping by the FIRESTORM FAN site! Amazing books you helped put together! I was a Who’s Who junkie growing up, so these books are truly appreciated.

Given the amount of information you all had to pull together, small errors are to be expected. But, feel free to give me a call when you go to the third edition. 😉

Thanks again for stopping by. You are certainly welcome here anytime!

Hi Shag — thanks for highlighting the two pages from both versions of the DC Comics Encyclopedia. You’re correct that I wrote both, and also correct about the college error. Where were you when I needed you?

For some of my general thoughts on the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia, read here:

Super week of Who’s Who action. I notice the “college student” error you pointed out carried over to the “updated” version.

Does Old Man Rusch only have one hand, or is that a weird angle? Is that a plot point?

Looking forward to the Black Bison entry and to the far future when you discuss how the Suicide Squad became a graveyard of Firestorm villains.
